Quilting for pleasure

Saturday, November 15, 2014

I bought the Christmas panel about a year ago & just got around to doing something with it. The panel is one of Nancy Halverson's designs. I really like her style.

Used some other Christmas fabric I had bought a year ago in St. George, threw in some flannel, backed it with fabric I bought at a local fabric store (Marcia's), and there you have it! My 2014 Christmas quilt. I enjoy making a Christmas quilt each year. Some years I give it away in a drawing held at work. Might do the same thing this year.

Hope all of your are enjoying the wonderful season of Thanksgiving & Christmas.

Cut the panel pieces apart then designed blocks with them.

I am not really good at drawing patterns so I just end up throwing them together as I go.

All over meandering free motion quilting - if you look closely there are words thrown in here and there.

One of the blocks ended up being the label. The name of the quilt is "Believe". And I do. Believe.

This afternoon I put the finishing touches on the second quilt using the Open Road line of fabric from Quilting Treasures (QT). This quilt is also 81" x 94" inches. It is backed with a golden tan mottled flannel fabric (nice & comfy). The photo shoot didn't go so well as the wind was really blowing & just when I was taking the photos - here come the clouds. Ah well.
